You see, I really can't help Magraw much. It takes a woman to give a man a start. Aline will say, 'Oh, bring him, if you choose' -- but when he comes she won't take any notice of him, or introduce him to any of the nice women. He was too shy to go to the Summertons' last night -- he's really very shy under his loudness -- so Aline's dance will be his first appearance in Newport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
